The leadership of the ongoing national conference has said it would withdraw the accreditation of any journalist who reports the proceedings of the conference in a n unfair manner.

This is contained in order 9 (7) of the National Conference Procedure Rules 2014, which was distributed to delegates. The rule reads: “The Conference may grant approval to the representative of any media to attend the sitting of the Conference provided that if the media publishes a report of the proceedings which the Conference considers unfair, offensive and not a true reflection of what transpired, such permission may be revoked.”

The conference reconvenes today after a six-day break.
